Product Overview
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 0.1% concentration in water, HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® grade, is a premium solvent specifically formulated for high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) applications. This ultra-pure solution minimizes background interference, ensuring enhanced sensitivity and reproducibility in analytical workflows. The HiPerSolv CHROMANORM® certification guarantees stringent quality control, with ultra-low levels of contaminants such as metals, non-volatile residues, and UV-absorbing impurities. Its consistent acidity and stability make it ideal for peptide and protein analysis, where precise ionization is critical. The solution is prepared using high-purity water and reagent-grade TFA, ensuring compatibility with sensitive mass spectrometers and reducing column degradation. Its optimized formulation supports seamless integration into existing LC-MS protocols without requiring additional purification steps. Whether used as a mobile phase additive or for sample preparation, this TFA solution delivers reliable performance, minimizing signal suppression and maximizing analyte detection. The 1 L packaging provides sufficient volume for high-throughput laboratories while maintaining convenience in handling and storage.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this TFA solution?
The shelf life is 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging.
2. Is this TFA solution compatible with reverse-phase HPLC columns?
Yes, it is fully compatible with most reverse-phase HPLC columns, including C18 and C8 stationary phases.
3. Can this be used as a substitute for formic acid in LC-MS?
While both are ion-pairing agents, TFA is stronger and may require optimization of gradient conditions if replacing formic acid.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials like strong bases.
5. Does this solution contain any stabilizers or additives?
No, it is a pure 0.1% TFA solution in water without additional stabilizers or preservatives.
